The families of some Brits killed in the horror Air India disaster have called for a UK-led investigation into the crash, as they warn of "serious concerns".
A group of people whose loved ones were among the 260 people killed when the Gatwick-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner smashed minutes after take-off have said they are still "seeking the truth" nine months after the tragedy. A group of devastated family members penned a letter to the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) and reportedly shared their "concerns" over the investigation being done in India.
Air India flight 171, with 53 Brits on board, crashed into a hostel in Ahmedabad killing 260 people, in June 2025.
A preliminary report into the deadly crash, in July 2025, said the plane's fuel control switches were were moved from "run" to "cut-off" moments after take-off, which would have caused the plane to lose thrust. The controversial report was disputed by many but a full report by Indian investigators is due to published soon.
The families of some of the British victims said they "respected the work" of Indian authorities but called on the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) to review the black box data from the flight, according to The Times.
In a letter to the chief inspector of the AAIB, Robert Balls, they reportedly wrote: "A review by the UK AAIB would provide families like ours with greater confidence that all technical aspects have been properly examined. We are only seeking the truth and reassurance that such a tragedy will not happen again in the future."
